How Do You Decide Where To Live?

There are so many worlds in the game now, I just cannot decide what to do. Usually I play on rotation in the same game save and use maybe four or five different worlds for the sims to live in, but I am still missing out on so many!

How do you decide which world your sims will live in and how often do you change worlds?

Do you have any worlds just for community lots or vacation lots or other specific types?

----------------------------------------------

UPDATE: Thank you so much to everyone who replied ❤️

I've gotten some good ideas and think I am going to be less regimented from now on! I am going to just go with a random number of households in all the worlds that I think will suit their storyline, just swapping whenever I feel like it, and do ageing for everyone on long lifespan. I will keep Newcrest for a big variety of community lots and a couple of my less favourite worlds are going to be just for vacations. I can't wait to start!

This will sound weird... I'm on the ADHD-OCD spectrum and my ADHD choice paralysis takes over when I have to choose stuff like this. So my OCD kicks in with a little system I created for myself where I'll take the day's date (for example the 4th) and count 4 neighborhoods from the one my current Sim is living in. I then count to the 4th house in that neighborhood and that's where my Sim will live.
And I'm also a super rotational player. I choose my Sims by the same method on the Sims Wiki Fandom page. After I complete a career and aspiration with one Sim, I'll count in the same way from their name in the All Pages list and I only play Maxis created Sims.
Currently I'm playing with Jay Bhatia (created for Cats & Dogs on the gallery).

Honestly, I have a hard time leaving Glimmerbrook, it is so beautiful and I play a spellcaster so the portal is handy.
But I also had an amazing game save in Innisgreen in the Sprucederry Grove, it was so beautiful. But I was a bit annoyed my lot overlooked a mini park with bathroom (that I can't edit).
I tried a few other lots in Windenburg, Henford-on-Bagley and Ravenwood. But I keep going back to Glimmerbrook (I have a really nice build I am not ready to leave yet, and looks great there), I think I should make larger build which has to be in a different world as Glimmerbrook has smaller lots. Just so I can try other places.
